5.0 out of 5 stars Palliative Care: essential practical information., 7 Jan 1999
By A Customer
This book is particularly useful for the busy GP or hospital doctor. It supplies essential practical information for the clinician in a readily available form and thus fills a gap in a growing field. Its clear presentation and unified style covers the subject comprehensively leaving depth and argument for heavier publications. Interestingly, members of the lay public have in my experience found it to be of help in understanding the medical profession's sympathetic and considered approach to a sensitive subject.
